Political Animals

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, April 1998:

“Political Animals has merged
with ROAR, founded in the mid-1980s by
the all-time legislative champion of animal
protection, former president pro tempore of
the California state senate David Roberti,”
Political Animals founder Sherry DeBoer
announced on March 1.
“Roberti has been on our advisory
board since inception,” DeBoer added “We
are thrilled to welcome to the board former
ROAR director Catherine Smith.”
Political Animals and the C a l i f –
ornia Equine Council are cosponsoring a
proposed California initiative to legally
define horses as companion animals rather
than livestock, which would make selling
them to slaughter illegal.
